Chapter 334 The truth of that matter【5K】
"'That thing'? ”
Ariel, Ju Bai and Bert could not help but be stunned for a moment. After a while, they reacted one after another.
At this time, Ariel's fair face changed slightly, and her red lips slightly opened several times, as if she wanted to defend something.
However, after taking a look at Lei Xiao with a calm expression not far away and the Japanese knotweed standing respectfully next to him, he finally sighed and shook his head helplessly.
At this stage, "that thing" is close at hand, and the location has been exposed.
Coupled with this annoying guy, he obviously found some clues.
There is obviously no point in continuing to pretend not to know.
The most important thing is that there is not only a fifth-level powerhouse beside this guy.
There are two fourth-level experts, as well as other third-level experts, who far have an absolute advantage in strength...
Thinking of this, Ariel couldn't help but reappear in Ariel's mind, the scene where the tiger stick just killed the giant metal holy lion with one sword.
Although the Lengyan royal family behind her also has two powerful fifth-level men who are loyal to her.
Unfortunately, in this extremely special period.
Not to mention ordering the other party, as long as the other party remembers that she is from the Cold Flame Royal Family and does not come to kill her personally, Ariel will be satisfied.
Realizing this, Ariel, who looked a little gloomy, first looked at each other with the other two kingdom generals, and there was a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
She had no choice but to take a step forward and said to Lei Xiao: "Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you. As you know, this princess is indeed looking for "that thing". ”
Speaking of this, Ariel's fair face first showed a hint of uncontrollable pride, and then she said slowly and solemnly: "If this princess is not wrong.
The truth of "that incident" is that this place is the resting place of the hero King Caesar, the founder of my Cold Flame Kingdom! ”
"Oh?"
After hearing Ariel's words, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look surprised.
The name Hero King Xi Sa is naturally familiar to him.
More than six hundred years ago, it was this guy who led the famous Earth Dragon Knights on the battlefield and single-handedly established Leng Yan, a glorious human dynasty that lasted for hundreds of years.
"It turns out that the truth about "that matter" is actually this guy's burial place. ”
Thinking of this, the look of surprise on Lei Xiao's face became more obvious.
Before this, I had also guessed that this might be a treasure trove of the Lengyan royal family, or other similar places.
However, he never expected that the owner of this place would be the first king of the Cold Flame Kingdom!
"Speaking of which, I have asked Lin before why this place is called Luolong City. Judging from the name, it seems like a giant dragon fell here."
"However, the answer I got was no. This fortress city located at the foot of the Baibu Mountains, let alone fallen, has never even seen a trace of the dragon."
Lei Xiao frowned slightly and continued to think secretly in his heart: "Could it be that... the reason why this place is called Luolong City is because this is really the resting place of the hero king Xi Sa?"
"However, this statement can undoubtedly only be understood by those of us, the people of Blue Star Great Xia who have a glorious and splendid civilization.
People in this world are naturally unheard of. I have already understood this. Maybe this is just a coincidence. ”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao regained his composure, and then said to Ariel: "By the way, since this is the burial place of your ancestors, then how could you, a member of the royal family who is the fifth princess of Lengyan, not Do you know the exact location? ”
"You don't know something."
Perhaps in order to pay tribute to her ancestors, Ariel at this time has lifted the illusion disguise and returned to her original delicate face.
I saw her unwinding the slightly curly black hair tied into a ponytail, hanging down from her shoulders to her tall chest, while she continued to say with a pious face: "This has always been my royal family, Leng Yan." One of the secrets.”
"Even my father doesn't know the exact location of the resting place of Hero King Caesar."
Ariel took a deep breath, and the piety on her cheeks began to grow stronger: "It wasn't until I came here that I understood that maybe my great ancestor wanted to silently guard our corner of the Cold Flame Kingdom after death. "
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly in disbelief. He waved his hand to other subordinates around him and began to clean up the battlefield. He frowned and asked, "Then how did you know the approximate location of this place?"
"Actually, this incident can be considered an accident."
Ariel moved lightly, clasping her hands behind her back as she walked slowly, her clear starry eyes blurred, apparently lost in memories.
"A year ago, when my father was still in good health and all this had not happened, I once left the castle in disguise and came to the bustling district of the royal capital. I accidentally met a man wearing a gray hood and looking at The mysterious fortune teller with an unclear face is setting up a stall in the street. ”
Ariel looked solemn and continued: "It was this person who told me in a hoarse voice that when the blood and fire in the royal capital were intertwined crazily, I would be west of the river in the Shadow Forest, where there are mountains and forests. Where there are towns and blood, find the resting place of the ancestral hero King Caesar.”
"Oh? It's so magical?"
Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
Before this, I had been exposed to prophecies three times.
The first time, the old half-elf Kawagu mentioned that there was an ancient elf book that predicted that they, the alien lords, would come to this world collectively and bring about complete changes.
The second and third times were both about cataclysms.
They were Chaoyan's school girl, Zhu Sha from the Magic Tower, who relayed the prophecies of the elders who were good at divination in the Magic Tower, and Shen Banxia, who was also a lord, relaying the prophecies of his second-level subordinate Xina.
And what Ariel said was undoubtedly the most specific of these prophecies.
"It seems that the reason why Ariel mentioned before that the rampage of monsters, the appearance of unknown monsters, or other crises was the prophesied "bloody light", but the real "bloody light" is a Legion-level siege warfare. ”
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this thoughtfully.
Ariel's stern expression shrank, her eyebrows lowered and she said: "At first, I naturally didn't take this matter to heart. After all, the entire Cold Flame Kingdom was a prosperous and prosperous scene everywhere."< br>
"Let alone the royal capital, even in any town in Lengyan, I don't believe that this so-called crazy intertwining of blood and fire will happen."
Ariel sighed softly, her delicate face full of melancholy, and said in a regretful tone: "It wasn't until my father was seriously ill and the chaos in the capital completely broke out that I realized it later. I realized how arrogant and ignorant I was at that time.”
Directly across from him, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and continued to listen.
"Because the matter is of great importance, after I informed Mr. Bert and Mr. Orange Bai of the ins and outs of the matter, we decided together with them to use the term "that matter" in order to conceal the information from others and prevent the news from leaking. replace. ”
Ariel took a deep breath, tried her best to adjust her low mood, and added again.
"That's it."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, taking the trophies handed over by his subordinates, and put them all into his space bracelets, preparing to take inventory after this matter was over.
While continuing: "So, the reason why you insist on coming to this underground city is to pursue the resting place of your ancestors described in the prophecy?"
"That's right."
Although Ariel answered simply, there was a clear hint of unconfidence in her tone.
Judging from the situation just now, the holy lion puppets guarding this place are all in a state of complete rage.
Even though the blood of the royal family flows in her body, I am afraid she will not hold back at all.
It is conceivable that if four more holy lions appear together, it will undoubtedly be very difficult for her and the three of them to fight against them.
After all, most of the trump cards she hides are defensive. In terms of attack, they are much different.
Therefore, another important reason why Ariel told Lei Xiao exactly about this matter was that she naturally wanted to take advantage of Lei Xiao's huge energy.
Let's use this to see if the depths here are really the resting place of her ancestor, the hero king Caesar, as described in the prophecy.
"I completely understand."
Lei Xiao rubbed his chin, thoughtfully.
If everything is as Ariel said, then there must be a lot of benefits hidden in it.
Naturally, I can't miss this.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said to Ariel: "Okay, although the goblin siege will continue for a while until they find something is wrong."
"However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Luolong City garrison discovered in advance that there has been an attack here. By then, the situation will be very troublesome."
Nodding to Ariel, Lei Xiao continued: "So, without further ado, let's confirm whether the depths of this square are really connected to your ancestors as predicted. ”
"That's what I meant."
Ariel's starry eyes moved as she looked into the depths of the square.
At this time, although the surroundings of the group were brightly lit by the light crystal stone and the light ball on Ariel's staff.
But deep in the square, it was still pitch black, with no end in sight.
Even with the help of Star Eyes, everything Lei Xiao could see was hazy.
All in all, in the huge square, except for the area where everyone was located, which was bright, the rest of the place was completely dark and chaotic.
Coupled with the extremely quiet environment, people suddenly feel a sense of mystery, as if anything can happen.
"Okay, everyone, cheer up and let's move on."
Under the command of Lei Xiao, the main subordinates and Ariel gathered their energy and began to walk deeper into the square.
At this moment, the group of ten people and the Nanxing and Nanyue sisters who were hiding in the dark were speechless.
Under the silence, only the sound of footsteps was left, still echoing back and forth in the empty square.
After walking for about ten minutes, the group finally arrived at the end of the square.
Along the way, everyone did not encounter other opponents again, but it was surprisingly smooth.
After looking around, Lei Xiao noticed.
At this time, what appeared in front of him was not the giant castle or similar underground ruins he had imagined.
Instead, there was nothing but a rough and cracked stone wall.
In confusion, I saw General Bert, the giant axe, walking forward and tapping the wall gently, listening carefully, and then reported to Ariel: "Your Highness, behind this wall It is solid, nothing exists except earth.”
"What the hell is going on?"
Ariel, who was originally full of expectations, suddenly frowned, showing a puzzled expression, and looked at the Holy Light General Ju Bai beside her with confusion.
The other party frowned and pondered for a moment, but also shook his head helplessly.
It is worth mentioning that not long ago, after Lei Xiao signaled the tiger stick, he rescued Orange Bai once.
When this young female general of the kingdom, who was about thirty years old, quite heroic and had a beautiful face, looked at Lei Xiao, she seemed to have lost a hint of hostility and vigilance.
"Lord, there is indeed nothing here."
Ye Cang, who was wearing a black priest's robe, took a step forward and saluted gracefully.
"Lord, are we looking in the wrong place?"
Chaoyan also took small steps, came up and said.
"Impossible. Even if we find the wrong place, those powerful Goblins who do not hesitate to attack the city with a large army to attract the attention of Luolong City are not just here to play and explore, right?"
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said: "It seems that just like those metal flame giant lions that suddenly appeared just now, there must be some magic mechanism or physical mechanism around here that we have not triggered."
< br>
"What you said makes sense."
Ariel's frowning eyebrows immediately relaxed, she nodded thoughtfully and said, "There must be another mystery around here."
Immediately afterwards, a crisp spell chanting sounded.
Ariel's eyes were slightly closed, and the pure white metal staff in her hand unfolded three continuously rotating golden hexagram magic arrays.
As the spell became louder and louder, the three golden magic arrays rotated faster and faster, and the golden textures on them began to become clearer.
"Glorious Stigmata!"
Finally, with a soft drink from Ariel, the three magic circles that originally surrounded the staff suddenly expanded and transformed.
The next second, with Ariel's feet as the center, lines of light that were either meandering or extending straight quickly expanded on the ground, like lines on a circuit board or cracks. earth.
At a glance, this magical pattern can not only extend on the ground, but also spread to the wall, which looks quite magical.
"Lord, it seems that this is a kind of detection magic."
Looking at the golden magic lines on the wall, Chaoyan whispered in Lei Xiao's ear: "However, it seems that it only works on fixed objects. It is an analytical detection magic."
"That's it."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
After getting to know the world better, Lei Xiao understood clearly.
In this world, detection type magic can be roughly divided into two types.
The first type is analytical detection magic.
The main uses, such as discovering underground treasures, hidden mechanisms or secret rooms, etc., almost only have an effect on static objects, and the effect on moving objects is very weak.
What Ariel is currently performing is obviously this type.
The second type is perceptual detection magic.
This kind of spell, on the contrary, focuses more on dynamic objects, such as invisible opponents, or sneaking opponents, etc.
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking to himself.
Ariel on the side has already expanded the light traces on the ground from the ground to the wall, and will soon extend to the roof of the underground square.
Just for a moment, Ariel, who was concentrating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her starry eyes, raised her head slightly, and pointed her sharp eyes at the junction of the wall and the ceiling not far away.
Looking along the other party's line of sight, Lei Xiao noticed.
That wall was not extended by a large number of light lines.
In other words, as soon as the line of light touched there, it automatically changed its direction, eventually forming a striking area like an isolated island.
"It seems the mystery is there."
After noticing this, Lei Xiao suddenly became enlightened.
Pale golden magic wings emerged, and Ariel soared directly into the air and began to approach that special area.
Just when she was about to get closer, she seemed to receive some kind of induction.
On that special area, a roaring golden lion pattern suddenly appeared, which was the iconic coat of arms of the Leng Yan royal family.
The next second, the shield-shaped coat of arms with a golden lion and a red background suddenly shone brightly.
At the same time that Ariel released the detection magic, a giant light gray magic circle that was constantly rotating began to slowly appear on the wall.
"Is this a teleportation circle?"
Feeling the strange energy fluctuations constantly coming from the magic circle, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise.
I have only encountered this feeling when using the teleportation crystal.
"That's it."
Ariel, who landed again, couldn't help but show a look of sudden enlightenment, and murmured to herself: "If my prediction is correct, the resting place of the ancestors is not here, this is just the teleportation entrance of the resting place!"< br>
"Your Highness, wait a minute. The origin of this teleportation circle is unknown after all. Let me give it a try first."
Looking at Ariel who was eager to try and ready to step forward, the white-haired Bert bowed slightly and walked first to the gray magic circle floating on the wall.
However, when he tentatively touched the magic circle with his fingers.
An invisible force appeared on the constantly rotating magic circle, pushing it directly out, apparently causing a resistance reaction.
Immediately afterwards, Ju Bai also stepped forward and tried, but was also rejected by the magic circle.
"It seems that only I, who is a member of the Lengyan royal family and has the blood of the King of Heroes, can successfully enter the magic circle!"
Signaling the two kingdom generals to retreat, Ariel stepped towards the magic circle with excitement on her face.
Bang!
However, there was a muffled sound.
Apart from a conspicuous red mark on her smooth and white forehead, it was obviously unsuccessful.
"How could this happen?"
Holding her aching forehead, Ariel's delicate face was full of confusion.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao, who was in the back row of the team, smiled helplessly and took a slight step forward, preparing to take a closer look.
Naturally, he would not try this teleportation magic circle of unknown origin easily.
"Hey, if even this princess, who has royal blood, can't enter, don't get involved in it..."
However, Ariel's words were not finished yet.
The next second, under the surprised eyes of everyone.
The light gray magic circle suddenly glowed brightly, and Lei Xiao, who was not close yet, was instantly sucked into it. (End of chapter)
